Abstract: A heat exchanger has a plurality of tubes (2) and tank
portions (3) formed by a plurality of first thin plates (31,
32) laminated and connected to each other, and a plurality of
covering members (5) formed by a plurality of second thin
plates (51, 52) laminated and connected to each other. The
covering members cover the tubes and the tank portions while
forming a plurality of openings (4) therebetween. Each of the
first thin plates has a communication hole (12) so that each of
the openings communicates with each other. An electromagnetic
valve (11) is disposed in the heat exchanger to control a
communication between the opening and an outer space of the
heat exchanger. Thus, when any one of the tubes and the tank
portions cracks and leaks refrigerant flowing therethrough,
refrigerant is collected into the openings and is accurately
rapidly discharged to the outer space by an opening operation
of the electromagnetic valve.

Abstract: For transverse profiling of a workpiece ends (20) the tools (4,5) and the workpiece (1) move relative to each other. The relative movement can be produced either by moving the tool across the fixed workpiece, moving the workpiece relative to the fixed axis of the tools or moving both the tools and workpiece. An Independent claim is made for a grooving machine with a workpiece conveying track (2) and one or more machining tools on the same side a stop bar. The tool (4) on the stop bar side moves transverse to the conveying direction (8) by at least the maximum breadth of the workpiece. After an initial transverse profiling the workpiece can be moved backwards and turned around before moving the tool across the other end face. The workpiece then continues in the conveying direction through the machine. Alternatively the transverse profiling is produced at one end (20), moved further through the machine and stopped while the other end is profiled with the same or a different tool. For milling a profile around a frame assembled from the workpieces the variable position tool is removed and replaced by a different tool or two variable position tools located on one side of the conveying track are used with the frame being rotated through 90 degrees for milling each side.

Abstract: A material storage unit copies materials to
supply buffer units corresponding to a play list. The
supply buffer units designate use frequency levels to
individually copied materials. The use frequency
levels are automatically updated corresponding to the
number of times the relevant materials have been
supplied. When materials are supplied from the supply
buffer units, the relevant supply date/time is stored.
When the material storage unit copies material to the
supply buffer units, if they do not have blank areas,
unnecessary materials are deleted therefrom. At this
point, a material whose use frequency level is the
lowest and that is not designated in a play list is
deleted. When all materials are designated in a play
list, a material whose supply date/time is the oldest
and whose use frequency level is the lowest is deleted.
In addition, a material whose use frequency level is
for example "5" is not deleted.

Abstract: The electrostatic ink-jet recording head according to the present
invention comprises: recording electrodes which eject ink towards
the recording paper; an opposing electrode for generating a
prescribed electric field between the recording electrodes and
the opposing electrode; and ink discharge end sections formed in
the vicinity of the recording electrodes. The ink discharge end
sections are formed closer to the opposing electrode than the end
portions of the recording electrodes. 
     In this case, the equipotential lines in the region of the ink
discharge end sections when a recording voltage is applied are
virtually perpendicular to the direction in which the ink is
discharged. This is because, the recording electrodes are
positioned slightly behind the ink discharge end sections in the
ink discharge member. In this case, an electrostatic force acts
on the toner particles near the ink discharge end sections in the
direction of the ink discharge end sections. Therefore, even when
a recording voltage is applied, there is a continuous supply of
toner particles to the ink discharge end sections. 
     As described above, in the electrostatic ink-jet recording head
according to the present embodiment, a convex ink meniscus is
formed in front of the recording electrodes. Therefore, toner
particles gather at the discharge points, even when a recording
voltage is applied, and thus a sufficient quantity of toner
particles for forming a desired dot size can be supplied.

Abstract: Co-Existence Dynamic Channel Assignment (DCA) techniques for
overlay macrocellular systems facilitate the coexistence of embedded autonomous
underlay microcellular (e.g., indoor) systems. The co-existence of the two systems
without excessive mutual interference is achieved through systematic deterministic
exclusion of predefined subsets of the universal channel set from the dynamic
assignment to the overlay macrocells. The sets of channels are made available to the
underlay systems. The exclusion is done with minimal DCA performance degradation.
Multiple deterministic exclusions methods are described.

Abstract: The present invention is so arranged that various requests
issued by the video processing application 105 of the file input-output
type are converted into requests adaptable to the stream type video
server within the terminal computer and the access is executed to the
stream type video server based on the said converted requests.
Accordingly, the terminal computer is provided with a request type
converter 103 which converts the file input-output type request into
the stream type one. The request type converter 103 first issues a
stream type sending request Ps on the basis of a file input-output type
file open request Qo or the file input-output type first readout request
Qr issued by the video processing application 105. According to the
sending request Ps, stream data is received from the video server. A
receiving means 1032 stores the received stream data in a buffer 1033.
At the same time, a buffer transfer means 1034 forwards to the video
processing application 105 the stream data stored in the buffer
according to a readout request Qr issued by the video processing
application 105.

Abstract: A dry-etching method comprises the step of dry-etching a metal thin

using, as an etching gas, a mixed gas including (a) a reactive ion etching gas,
which contains an oxygen-containing gas and a halogen-containing gas, and
(b) a reducing gas added to the gas component (a), in the process for
dry-etching the metal thin film. The dry-etching method permits the
production of a photomask by forming patterns to be transferred to a wafer
on a photomask blank. The photomask can in turn be used for manufacturing
semiconductor circuits. The method permits the decrease of the dimensional
difference due to the coexistence of coarse and dense patterns in a plane and
